  Welcome back to my monthly blog, and today we're gonna talk about the most important topic I've been willing to learn about ever since I was in school.

You know what Mr. Ross says. “We don’t make mistakes, we have happy accidents.” My dad and I were thinking about maybe looking for a Bob Ross costume for Halloween. And if it weren’t for this Halloween store that I love going to, I wouldn’t miss it for the world. I will hope that there’s a Spirit Halloween store somewhere
